* Click on the Upload button on the DocBits Dashboard.
* A window will appear where you can upload your documents via file browser or drag and drop. You can upload up to 10 documents at once.
* To upload documents via file browser, click on the Upload Documents button and select the files you want to upload. Once you’ve selected the files, click on Confirm to start the upload process.
* Alternatively, you can drag and drop your files onto the DocBits import window.
* After the files have been uploaded, they will have the initial status of “Running”. During this time, the upload is being processed and editing the file is not possible. The processing time may vary depending on the size and complexity of the file.
* Once the file has been processed, it will receive the status of “Ready For Validation”. You can now start the validation process.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.docbits.com/end-user-and-partner-section/end-user-section/how-to-import-documents/manual-import.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
